I have been ringing a few places in melb and some of them only makes up to 2.5" custom piping.

Today I was even mocked when I said I wanted 3" piping, they said I must be crazy to want such a diametre, what do I need it for?

Does anyone knows exhaust place in Melb where ppl who ask for 3" or even 3.5" custom pipe will be treated with respect and won't be jeered at and laughed?

not very happy today :)

What type of zorst do u want? Cat-back, turbo back?

Do u want new, or second hand? Dont get a custom one made up, go for a big nasty jap one. Ive got an Apexi N1 from (and including) the cat back. Doesnt drone, more power, and sounds awsome.

For the price of gettn a custom one done, go the jap one.

And trufit...well...Ive had dealings with them.....what gasket!!!!

I had a tailpipe from HKS (2nd hand) which I want to attach to my exhaust system, but I don't have the middle section between cat & tailpipe, where the resonator is located. :) bad purchase decision perhaps.

If this is too troublesome to fabricate, then maybe I'll just sell

the tailpipe and get a brand new cat-back from Japan.

hey rs73, i've been to about 5 different exhaust places in the past few weeks to fix up my exhaust coz its too big for my car. it came from a turbo r33 and i bolted it onto mine so i've been going around to different places asking for opinions.

the place raist60 mentioned seems the most decent, price is good and the guy knows what hes talking about.

but, i've heard a lot of good things about Dandy Exhaust in dandenong, thats where i've booked my car in to get the resonator changed, they were the only place to actually give me a rough price as well.

btw u can buy my exhaust off me! its practically new!

Be very careful that the change the flanges on the exhaust to 3" as well and that they dont use the ones off your original.

My 2c just buy jap exhaust ready to fit b/c you know it will fit perfectly. I had to take mine back 3 times. first 2 b/c of the knocking on my suspension and the last time b/c of the dodgy flanges. nyway hope you dont use a certain someone in Fairfield by the name of Harry ******.

Good luck

My system is currently stock GTS-t exhaust, dunno if turtle wants to put a stock turbo exhaust system on his N/A skyline...

turtle?

catback means the piping of the exhaust after the cat all the way to the muffler inclusive.anything from cat and before is what you would need to complete your full exhaust system.so you would need a hi flow cat and front pipe and mandrel bent dump pipe.

how much damage am i looking at for this to be done?

Some things I have found out and noticed...

Dont' go to places with bad customer service. I don't see why you should pay money to feel like crap. Customer Service is part of the total experience and your decision should not just be based on the final product you get.

From what I've seen most aftermarket Japanese over the shelf exhaust kits hang low on the standard mounts. If you have modified your car so that it sits lower to the ground or plan on doing this then go to a good exhaust shop and get them to make an exhaust up for you that sits close to the body. If you've seen High Octane 3 then you'll know what I'm talking about...

Support Aussie business'. The local exhaust shop is probably going to make an exhaust that is as good or better than the off the shelf jap one if you choose the right place. And price would have to be similar when comparing new with new....

That's what i saw... i got my 3" Mandrel (without hiflow cat) done for $590 from Porfessional Exhaust in Airpost West.

The sound is brilliant and it didn't even take the full day...

too easy

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
